Dave stood there with his fists clenched and his patience finally at its breaking point.He had tolerated enough of Jerry’s arrogance, his lies, his constant need to take credit for things he had nothing to do with.But this time?This time, he wasn’t letting it slide.He took a step forward, his voice cutting through the air with a sharpness that made everyone stop."Jerry," Dave said coldly, "since you enjoy taking credit for things you haven’t done, let’s talk about reality, shall we?"Jerry smirked, completely unbothered. "What are you going on about, Dave? I helped Ava, simple as that."Dave’s eyes darkened."Your father," he began, "is nothing but one of the low-status staff in Hendrix Group—one of the companies under the Great Kevton Chamber of Commerce."The smirk on Jerry’s face faltered.Dave continued. "He’s been hanging by a thread there for months, hasn’t he? The company is downsizing, cutting off unneeded employees. And what did you and your father do?" He chuckled dar

Within minutes, Ava arrived at the chamber—this time with Dave by her side.The moment the car pulled into the grand compound of the Kevton Chamber of Commerce, her heart pounded with anticipation.Ava’s eyes immediately scanned the area, and then—She spotted Jerry.He stood near the entrance, speaking to someone in hushed tones.Ava’s face lit up with relief.If Jerry was here, it could only mean one thing—he had pulled some strings for her."Jerry!" she called, approaching him with a cheerful smile.Jerry turned, his expression smug yet welcoming."Ava," he greeted, his tone smooth and self-assured. "I told you I'd take care of it, didn't I?"Ava’s confidence soared.There was no doubt in her mind now—Jerry had used his family’s influence to get her membership reinstated.She was back.With that assurance, Ava proceeded into the chamber building, walking briskly toward the office that had summoned her.As she stepped into the large conference room, her breath caught in her throat.

Within an hour, Ava was back in the city. The anxiety she had felt on the way had not lessened—if anything, it had intensified. She clutched the paper with the address Dave had given her as the cab sped through the city streets. When the driver finally pulled up in front of the destination, Ava’s breath caught in her throat. Before her stood an exotic mansion—a structure so breathtaking, she had to glance at the paper in her hands again, making sure she had the right address. Dave is here? Ava stepped out of the cab, her heels clicking against the pristine pavement as she approached the grand entrance. Her mind whirled with questions. Who owned this majestic place? How did Dave—the same man who had been captured by Jacob Dale’s men—end up here? Nothing was making sense. The moment Ava stepped inside, she felt as though she had entered a dream. The interior was beyond luxurious, with elegant chandeliers casting a soft golden glow over the grand hallway. The sc

Ava sat frozen, gripping her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white.The world around her felt like it was collapsing.President Carl… dead.Her membership in the Kevton Chamber of Commerce… revoked.Who did this?Who had the power to shatter everything she worked for in a single moment?Ava’s heart pounded as she tried to think of someone—anyone—who could help.She knew Dave couldn’t help her now. He had only secured her membership through Carl’s influence.And now?Carl was dead… and Dave had been kidnapped.Ava had fled the city to avoid being captured like Dave, and now, she was left feeling completely alone.She inhaled sharply, her mind racing.Then, a name surfaced in her thoughts—Jerry.Jerry wasn’t behind her membership, but his family held enormous influence in the city.Maybe… just maybe…She hesitated for a moment, then quickly dialed his number.After two rings, Jerry picked up. “Ava! I was just about to call you.”His voice was smooth and confident, as always.

Dave moved with the same calm precision of a man who knew exactly what he was doing. His fingers danced over the screen, making a few swift calls.Then, he set the phone down and folded his arms. “I told you, Jacob. I could make you… or break you.”Jacob scoffed, leaning back in his chair. “You’re an idiot and you can do nothing!"Just as he was about to order his men to beat Dave senseless, his phone began to buzz violently on the desk.Jacob frowned, eyeing the screen. His personal assistant’s name flashed across it.With a sneer, Jacob picked up the call. “Make it quick. I’m about to end someone’s life.”The voice on the other end sounded panicked.“Sir… it’s over. We’re finished!”Jacob’s face darkened. “What the hell are you talking about?”“Sir, our company… it’s bankrupt! All our major investors have withdrawn their funds! There’s nothing left! If we don’t act immediately, the company will be a complete write-off!”Jacob froze.His company? Bankrupt? Impossible!A sharp, sic

News of Dave’s capture spread quickly through the Dexter household like a wildfire.Ava’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dexter, sat in their lavish living room, exchanging concerned glances. The air was thick with tension. The revelation that Jacob Dale’s men had promised to return for Ava had struck a deep nerve.Mr. Dexter folded his arms, pacing. “This is bad. This is very bad.”Mrs. Dexter placed a trembling hand over her chest. “Ava, you need to leave town immediately. If they’re coming for you next, we can’t take any chances.”Ava sat in silence while her mind was in turmoil Run away? Leave Dave behind?Mr. Dexter nodded in agreement. “Not only you, Ava. We’ll relocate the entire family—for now, at least. If Jacob Dale wants revenge, he won’t just come for you. He’ll come for us all.”Ava’s mother sighed dramatically before adding, “And honestly, dear, maybe this is a sign.”Ava furrowed her brows. “A sign?”Her mother leaned forward. “A sign that you need to let go of Dave. Divorce

Grey's reputation grew exponentially across Croatway and all over Weston. His success in business and his dramatic rescue of his wife and child had made him a household name. Newspapers, television channels, and social media platforms were abuzz with stories of his exploits and excellence. Grey bec

Grey paced his living room, waiting for any news on Nora. She had been missing for hours, and every minute felt like an eternity. He had already contacted the police, but they had found no trace of her. Desperate, Grey called his most trusted men and ordered them to start a thorough investigation al

Nora let out a gasp of terror as she was yanked backward. It was a fierce man looming over her with his grip like iron on her arm. "Thought you could get away, did you?" he snarled, dragging her back toward the house. Nora struggled, but her strength was no match for his. She held her baby even clo

The ropes binding Nora's wrists dug into her skin, but she ignored the pain. Her baby’s cries had long since faded, replaced by an eerie silence that filled her with dread. Outside the room, Bradley dialled a number with her face a mask of cold fury. “Where is Grey?” she demanded, her voice sharp a

Nora’s breath caught in her throat as she recognized them. Bradley, Carol, and Sandra—the wives of Jeff Hordes who had glared at her and her family with disdain during the reading of Jeff's will. The same women who had harbored resentment towards her and Grey for receiving the bulk of Jeff’s estate.

Nora was driving home from work one evening, the sky a soft orange as the sun set behind the hills. Her thoughts were a jumble of the day’s events and the upcoming plans she had for the weekend. In the back seat, her newborn baby slept peacefully in the car seat, while her carer, Emily, hummed a lul

The color drained from Ava’s face, and her confidence melted away in an instant. She tried to backpedal, but his hand shot out like lightning, gripping her arm with crushing force.“You thought you could ruin her life?” he growled, dragging her fully inside. The door slammed shut behind them with a thud that echoed like a death knell. “Tonight, Ava, you answer for your crimes.”Ava squirmed, her voice trembling. “Logan, listen—it’s not what you think—”He cut her off with a glare so sharp it silenced her instantly. “I know exactly what it is. You wanted Charlotte raped. You brought poison, lies, a camera, and a hired thug to do your dirty work. And you thought you could walk away clean.”Kayla, still crouched near the corner, whimpered, her entire body trembling. Ava shot her a furious glare, realizing too late that Kayla had been the weak link that dragged her into this room.Logan turned toward the man who had been waiting uneasily near the bed. His face was pale and his body tens

Kayla’s body screamed at her to turn back, to run far from the storm waiting for her inside that room, but she knew she had no choice. Logan’s words echoed in her head like a chain tightening around her throat. He had given her an ultimatum, and she had already seen what he was capable of when enraged. Defying him was out of the question.Kayla's trembling fingers twisted together as she forced her face into something resembling composure. She needed to appear calm and convincing. She needed Ava to believe everything was fine.And there Ava was—leaning lazily against the wall, one ankle crossed over the other, her expression brimming with smug satisfaction. The shadows in the hallway only made her features sharper, crueler, her grin wide as if she had already won.“Talk to me,” Ava purred, her eyes narrowing with amusement as Kayla approached. “Is it done? Did you make sure Charlotte was ruined the way I asked?”The words slashed through Kayla’s nerves. She swallowed, pasting on

Kayla’s sobs shook her whole body as she pressed her palms against the cold floor. Her tear-swollen eyes looked up at Logan, who towered over her with unflinching fury. His command still echoed in her ears—she was to take Charlotte’s place, to endure the very humiliation she had orchestrated.“No… no, please,” Kayla whimpered, shaking her head violently. Her voice cracked under the weight of her desperation.“Sir, don’t do this to me. I beg you. Please don’t let me… don’t make me… replace Charlotte.”Logan’s eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched like iron. “Why should I spare you?” His tone was a low growl, vibrating with restrained violence. “You plotted against my wife. You put her in that bed, helpless. You were ready to watch her life be destroyed for your sick scheme. Tell me one reason why you deserve mercy.”Kayla’s chest heaved, and in her panic, the words tumbled from her mouth. “Because Ava—the one who sent me to do this—she’s outside. She’s waiting. Why don’t you invite Ava

Logan’s glare bore into Kayla like a blade. The room was suffocatingly silent except for Charlotte’s faint breathing on the bed and the distant groans of the man sprawled on the floor, still clutching his ribs. Logan’s fury radiated like fire, the kind that scorched without touch.Kayla trembled, her back pressed against the wall as though it could swallow her whole and protect her. Her lips quivered, her voice breaking into fragments of incoherent stammers. She had been bold before, smug even, but that mask had shattered the moment Logan had entered. Now, she was nothing more than a cornered coward.“I’ll ask again,” Logan growled.“Who sent you? Who told you to do this to Charlotte?”Kayla’s chest rose and fell rapidly, her hands shaking as she tried to hold herself upright. Her mind raced with excuses, with half-truths, but Logan’s eyes warned her that lies would be met with something far worse than his words.“I-I can’t—” she started, her voice barely audible.Logan slammed

Charlotte was sprawled across the bed, still unconscious, her breaths slow and heavy, oblivious to the wicked scheme circling her.The man Kayla had summoned loomed over the fragile girl, his grin spreading wider as he began unbuttoning his shirt. His eyes gleamed with predatory hunger, and Kayla’s pulse quickened at the thought that Charlotte’s life would soon be ruined beyond repair. Years of envy and festering resentment had led to this moment, and she savored the power that came with it.“Make it quick!” Kayla urged, her tone sharp, a whisper laced with malice. She tapped her phone, showing him the blinking red light of a hidden camera tucked neatly out of sight. Its unyielding red eye glared at them, recording every second. “This needs to be done fast, before anyone starts wondering why she hasn’t come back downstairs.”The man chuckled darkly, tugging at his belt. His gaze swept over Charlotte’s limp body, hungry, dangerous, unrelenting.Kayla’s lips curled with cruel satis

Logan’s heart hammered as he paced across the living room.The quiet of the house pressed against him like a weight. Every second without Charlotte gnawed at him, twisting his chest tighter. He glanced at the clock again, but the hands seemed to mock him, creeping forward while she remained absent.He couldn’t wait any longer.Snatching up his phone, he dialed one of Charlotte’s friends—the same one who had claimed Charlotte was “asleep” when she left the party. His thumb pressed so hard against the phone that his knuckles whitened. The call connected instantly.“Hello?” “This is Logan,” he said, his tone sharp, urgent, clipped with the kind of authority that demanded truth. “Earlier you said Charlotte was asleep when you left. I need the exact location of that party—hall name, street, everything. Send it to me now.”In a hushed, frightened voice, the friend whispered, “I’ll send it immediately. Please… is something wrong?”“Just send it,” Logan snapped, unwilling to waste anothe

One evening, as Amelia and Suzy sat in the Williams living room, sipping tea, Suzy opened up about her doubts regarding Scott, her suitor."Amelia," she began hesitantly, "I'm just not sure about Scott. He's so different from the guys I usually date. He's quiet and reserved... I don't know if he's the right fit for me."Amelia listened carefully, her heart going out to her sister. She could see the uncertainty in Suzy's eyes, but she also saw the love that shone through when Suzy spoke about Scott."Suzy," Amelia said gently, "sometimes, we have to look beyond the surface to see the beauty within. Scott may be quiet, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care deeply for you. Within the little time I've seen him here, I've noticed the way he looks at you when he thinks no one's watching. It's a look of pure adoration."Suzy sighed, torn between her feelings for Scott and her uncertainty. "I guess I just need some reassurance. I want to be sure that he's as committed to this relationship as

One sunny Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Williams and Suzy decided it was time to extend an olive branch to Amelia. They had been reflecting on their past judgments and treatment of her and felt a deep sense of remorse. They realized that Amelia had transformed into a remarkable woman and deserved their love and support. Suzy was the one who picked up the phone to make the call. She dialled Amelia's number, her fingers trembling with anticipation. After a few rings, Amelia's warm voice filled the line. "Hello?" "Amelia, it's Suzy," Suzy began hesitantly. "I was wondering if you and your baby would like to come over to our place today. Mom and I have something we'd like to talk to you about." Amelia, surprised by the invitation, agreed. She had hoped for reconciliation with her family and was eager to see if this was the beginning of a fresh start. "Sure, Suzy. We'd love to come over. What time should we be there?" Suzy quickly arranged a time, and they hung up. She then turned to her mo

On a crisp, early morning, the sun had just begun its ascent, casting a gentle golden hue across the city. Albert was preparing to leave for work. He meticulously straightened his tie, checked his reflection in the hallway mirror, and grabbed his briefcase.As he stepped out of his front door, the cool morning air greeted him. He started down the path toward his car, parked at the curb.The familiar routine of his daily commute was etched into his subconscious, and he moved with a sense of purpose. But as he reached the car door, a sudden, sharp voice cut through the calm morning air."Albert Dallas, freeze! Put your hands up!"Albert's heart skipped a beat as he turned to see several police officers, their badges glinting in the morning light, guns drawn and pointed at him. Panic surged through him as he raised his hands in compliance, his briefcase slipping from his grip and landing on the pavement with a thud.The neighbours, drawn by the commotion, peered through curtains and from

Amelia sat on her bed this morning, As the first rays of sunlight pierced through her living room window, she felt something she hadn't expected - sharp cramps in her tummy.At first, she dismissed the discomfort as nothing more than indigestion from last night's dinner. But as the minutes passed, the pain intensified, and she realized that this was something different. Something significant.Amelia tried to stand up, but the pain was too much. She knew she needed help. With trembling hands, she reached for her phone and dialled the number of her next-door neighbour, Mrs Johnson.Mrs. Johnson had always been a kind and caring woman, and Amelia hoped she would be able to assist her in this moment of need."Hello, Amelia?" Mrs. Johnson's voice came through the phone, filled with concern."Mrs. Johnson," Amelia managed to say between breaths, "I'm in a lot of pain. I need your help. Can you come over?"Without hesitation, Mrs. Johnson assured her that she'd be right there. In a matter of

Still lost in thoughts, the door to her hospital room swung open slowly.Vera's heart raced, thinking it was one of the nurses or therapists coming in for a routine check. But when she turned her head and her eyes met the figure standing in the doorway, her world seemed to stand still.It was Donald!Vera's eyes widened in shock, and she felt as though her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
